Storing parenteral medication at home.
The storage requirements for parenteral products vary with the characteristics of the medication in the product. Temperature, light, moisture, pH, composition of the container, type of infusion fluid, and exposure to other chemical substances are the major determinants of the stability of parenteral medication stored in the patient's home.
